The GOP will betray you

Let the purge begin.

Target – Midterms.

(See 2010 – lather – repeat)

Did True_King show up to tell us the GOP will betray us??..:)

Has True King ever been wrong about that?

I’ve never once been wrong. And yes, they will do it again. Hell, they just betrayed you and your children AGAIN didn’t they?

The GOP is now the party of tax increases.

Soon they will be the party of debt (even more so than they already are) once they give Obama another debt ceiling increase with meaningless “cuts” attached to the increase to provide themselves cover.

Soon they will be the party of gun control once Obama passes executive orders to gut the 2nd Amendment because they will do nothing.

How many more examples are there? Almost countless.

The GOP will betray you

What did Mark Levin say and think about this latest commie crap out of Obama’s liar pie hole?

RINO’s do not want to know.

Mitt Romney is not germane to the point I’m making. Yes I know Reagan said what he meant and meant what he said and that’s why conservative ideologues (of which I am one) loved him. My point is that’s not the only reason he was loved, especially by people who aren’t conservative ideologues, which most people aren’t. 49 states didn’t come from his conservatism alone any more than Richard Nixon’s 49 states came from his big government tendencies.

God Bless America!

I heard the same tune in 1980 just before reagan was elected, and in 2010 just before we tendered the biggest midterm blowout in history.

It wasn’t true then, and it isn’t true now.

Exactly.
How we forget the days of yore, and 2010.
2010 was not that long ago for all the fatalism out there. Fix the NRSC- fight the battles locally/regionally in the mid-terms.

POTUS race has become a beauty contest for the American Idol voting masses, and Shillary will be next beauty coming down the pike. At least she won’t be trotting around with J-Zee or pimpin with a limpin….will she?

Too late for that, I am afraid. The GOP is rotten to its core.

Either way, er are looking at many years in the wilderness for the conservative movement. The GOP will continue to erode, it will never retake the Senate and keep losing House Seats. The presidency is gone.

A new party is the only solution, even though it may take a generation to regain power.

I don’t believe that for a second.

Emboldening tyranny of the majority (“Eat the rich”) may win an election but it weakens and divides the country even further.

The “Rich” got eaten anyway, just like Slick Willie ate them in the 90′s.

I’m just asking, How many votes did that inevitability cost Romney/Ryan?

Its more than we want to admit.

We need a Second Party, now.

Well said. It’s the consent judgment to not fight voter fraud that gets me the most. How the hell anyone can do that given our constitutional structure and call themselves a patriot, is beyond me.

And that’s how Obama likes it.

I pulled the lever for Romney. I had no choice. However, he did not campaign as hard against Obama as he did against his fellow Republicans. And, the whole country noticed that.

I see that the “smartest people in the room” still will not admit that squishiness does not win an election.

How squishy was the fanaticism to not raise taxes on the rich- those mean 1% ers ? Not one dime, and Mitt held the line on thst – as I recall. Voters shoulda loved that conviction to protect a fragile economy. Or not.

How did that turn out?

Republicans were rank hypocrites for blindly following GW for 8 years while he started new entitlement programs and spent like a drunken sailor, invaded Iraq on false agendas, and. Expanded the power of the executive with hideous violations of the Constitution.

So now, the. GOP has zero credibility with voters.

It wasn’t all Bush’s fault that the economy imploded on his watch. But, on top of everything else?

Debacle.

I’ve heard some lip service to apologetics for it, but not much can change the fact that actions have consequences. The gop is experiencing them now.

but also demonstrating the strength to stand up to activists

They’ve demonstrated their ability to stand up to activists. They should try standing up to Democrats.

As I see it now – especially after the last convention and all the firings Boneless did – the Republican Party is a corporatocracy. Bought and paid for by the “too big to fail” corporate interests. And they know they can give lip service to the people, but can rest assured knowing that any third party they threaten to defect to will ultimately fail as long as the GOP has their loyal sugar-daddies.

But Scott Rasmussen has a new editorial out this week where he believes he’s identified another issue to be tackled. There are, as he states rather directly, a number of “establishment GOP” types in D.C. who seem to have determined that the big problem with the Republican Party is all of those Republican voters.

This is news?

Still, it’s good to see the issue taken seriously. We have way too many Republicans distancing themselves from their “grass roots” in order to win elections, then somehow not winning them. Apparently, the geniuses are forgetting that the reason they’re called “grass roots” is because there are so many of them, and when you ignore your “grass roots” for positions that are democratically elected, you’re probably throwing away that election.

If the nominee in 2012 had been someone the base actually wanted, we would now be talking about the failed one-term presidency of Barack Obama.

just 37 percent of Republicans nationwide believe the economy is fair

Capitalism is never fair. Especially now with goverment enforced racism and sexism.
